Precautions

While Rockstar Games allows PC players to use almost all mods for GTA 5 gameplay, avoid using the NaturalVision Evolved mod in multiplayer. The developer strictly prohibits any mod that alters the core structure of the multiplayer version, and a violation will almost certainly result in a permanent ban.

Therefore, disabling and verifying the mod's status before joining any Grand Theft Auto Online session is advised.
